Serious Games & Social Media Storm AMEE2019 in Vienna, AT

Clinical Playground founder Dr. Eric B. Bauman was in Vienna, Austria for the 2019 Association for Medical Education in Europe (AMEE) Conference where he presented on the topics of game-based learning for medical and health professions education, and on the use of social media to promote conference participation. The annual AMEE conference has become the key meeting for those involved in medical and health professions education. Aside from an astonishing number of experts on-site presenting on numerous topics, AMEE provides an engaging networking opportunity for all who attend. Attendance has grown steadily over the last 15 years, and now attracts 4000 delegates per year.

Dr. Bauman also presented an ePoster based on groundbreaking work completed with fellow Clinical Playground Player, Dr. Gregory E. Gilbert and colleague Lisa Buckley Paganotti. The poster and presentation titled – Improving Conference Media Engagement: The AMEE Twitter Story focused on the analysis of the twitter data collected during 2018 AMEE conference in Basal, Switzerland. Dr. Bauman and his colleagues collected similar data from this years conference in Vienna, so they will be well positioned to continue their analysis of how Twitter influences conference attendee engagement.
